Men's Health claims to have found the most effect bench press workout of all time. The workout is tough. It’s a 30-minute mental and physical crucible that involves more bench press reps than you would normally do in a month. But it works—I do it any time I need to break through a plateau. The workout (from my Men’s Health book Maximus Body) shocks your system with weight, reps, and intensity, eliciting a crazy amount of gains in strength and size. Most people get stuck in strength plateaus because they just don’t do enough repetitions.
